9 AI Tools I Guarantee You Haven't Seen (Underground AI #1)

The video begins with the host discussing the website Future.tools, which lists a vast array of AI tools, many of which go unnoticed. The host proposes a new show concept called 'Underground AI' to explore and review lesser-known AI tools. The aim is to give exposure to these 'under the radar' tools and provide viewers with honest feedback on their utility and effectiveness. The host describes the selection process and their personal experiences with the tools, including both positive and negative aspects.

The host introduces Sdxl Lightning, an AI image generation tool noted for its incredible speed. The user interface is straightforward, requiring only a prompt and a seed to generate images. The host demonstrates the tool's rapid image generation capabilities, noting the quality and the real-time generation of images. The tool's speed is its standout feature, with an image generation time of just 216 milliseconds.

The host reviews Logo Mark AI, a tool for creating logos with various styles. Despite the tool being in a pre-launch phase with an unknown pricing model, the host tests it out using the free trial option. The tool allows users to generate logos based on a prompt, with options for pictorial, abstract, and line styles. The host experiments with generating logos for a wolf and a coffee shop, finding the results satisfactory but notes the limitations of the free trial in terms of usage and the need for payment for more extensive use.

Render Net is an AI tool that offers precise control over image generation, allowing users to create images according to specific specifications. The host highlights features like face lock, which maintains a consistent character face, and control nets, which allow for pose-based image generation. The host tests the tool by uploading a face and generating images with their face on different characters. While the results vary, the host appreciates the unique face lock feature and the tool's potential for creating images with specific character attributes.

Caption My Photos is a tool that generates captions for images, customizable with hashtags and emojis. The host critiques the tool's pricing model, which uses a credit system that they find confusing. Despite this, the host tests the tool with a random image and finds the generated caption suitable for social media use. However, they note that similar functionality can be achieved with other AI tools like Chat GPT and Gemini, questioning the sustainability of Caption My Photos' pricing model.

iisten AI is a tool that converts articles or web pages into concise podcasts, offering a solution for efficient learning. The host tests the tool by entering a URL of a blog post, selecting language, voice, and speed, and generating a podcast. The tool creates a brief synopsis of the article in audio format, which the host finds useful for quickly absorbing information. The pricing model includes a free trial, followed by subscription plans with varying numbers of podcasts per month.

Jelly Pod is an app that transforms an inbox into a personalized daily podcast by summarizing content from subscribed newsletters. The host explores the app's functionality, noting its high user ratings and the ability to listen to a podcast episode generated from a forwarded newsletter. The app offers different podcast host voices and the option to upgrade for additional features, such as creating multiple podcasts and listening offline.

Odio is an AI-powered research and writing platform designed to streamline the research process for scholars and researchers. The host is excited to try Odio, which allows users to collect various types of content and then ask questions of that collection. The host tests the tool by adding videos and a PDF, and despite disliking the credit system, finds the tool's ability to pull data from multiple sources and provide in-depth responses to be impressive.

The host reviews two AI video ad generators: Magic Ads and Video Talk. Magic Ads requires a paid model with no free trial, which the host finds frustrating due to its high cost and limited customization options. In contrast, Video Talk offers a paid trial with the option to generate short-form content from text inputs. The host tests Video Talk, generating a video about a wolf learning to use a computer, and while the results are promising, the host notes some inaccuracies in image generation.

The host concludes by discussing the Future Tools website, a curated collection of AI tools and news. The website allows users to explore various AI tools and stay updated with the latest AI news through a newsletter. The host invites viewers to share their thoughts on the 'Underground AI' series concept and encourages them to visit the Future Tools website to discover new AI tools and insights.
